How to use rsysnc to keep files in Sync Between Servers

Suppose remote computer is “192.168.1.171″ and has the account “don”. You want
to “keep in sync” the files under “/home/Logs” on the remote computer with files on “/home/nikesh/Server” on the local computer.

$ rsync -Lae ssh don@192.168.1.171:/home/Logs /home/nikesh/Server

“rsync” is a convient command for keeping files in sync, and as shown above, it will work
through ssh. The -L option tells rsync to treat symbolic links like ordinary files.
